It's Always Been You

Mission accomplished.

" OK, now i'm COMPLETELY jealous of you. That necklace is GORGEOUS!!!" Tina screeched, holding it up towards the sun.

It sparkled just like his eyes do when i see them look at me. " It is..." everything started getting blurry. My eyes got all watery as my smile grew larger and larger just staring at it. I couldn't help myself. I was crying. I wonder how much this costed him! I looked at the box the beautiful necklace was in. Tiffany & Co. it said. This must have costed him a fortune!

The band was pure white gold, about ten inches long. It was a key. A gorgeous key that the band was carrying. There was also a small Ifle Tower next to the key. The face of the key was a small clock that said Together in Paris in the inscription in the center. The body of the key was short, but at the end, where there's always lumps, if you look close at it, they were tiny buildings. It was gorgeous! 

The clock read 4:37. "Al, we need to go." Mel came in through the door, pointing outside.

"Look Mel!" I could barely hold my tears in when i showed her.

"Oh My goodness. This is gorgeous!!" Mel came closer to it and held it in her hands. She unhooked the clip, moved my hair from the back of my neck and put the necklace on me, I just couldn't breathe thinking that he really got me this.

"Thanks Tina. Its been really fun being your client, but i really have to go." I went up to her and shaked her hand.

She pulled my arm and held me into a big hug. "No Thank you for being the best client i've ever had." she smiled down at me with tears in her eyes to. "But don't forget, if there's anything, just give me a call Al, K?" she gave Mel a card, too.

" I'll definitely keep in touch." i smiled.

"So what are you waiting for??" she shooed me out the door. "Don't keep him waiting." she whispered. 

I couldn't help but smile and run out that door. Mel fell behind, trying to pay for the stuff with James's money. A couple minutes later she came out from the salon and followed me into the elevator. "She couldn't take the money." Mel laughed to herself. "Here, I bet he would've wanted to either give it to you or take it back." she chuckled, holding out the wallet to me. 

I laughed and took the money. I stuck it into my pocket and the elevator bell rang. "Well, we better hurry up if we're gonna make it!" Mel laghed. She was talking about the surprise. "But first, we're stopping by your house. We need to get YOU all dolled up and fanceehh!!!" 

She drove out of the parking lot and i saw Tina wave down to me from the 24th floor. I had this huge smile and waved excitedly up to her, sticking half of my body outside the car window. "Hey! get yourself in here before you fall on your face!" Mel teased.

I smiled  up to Tina and stuck myself back in the car. " Soo...."

"I'm still not telling you where we're going." her eyes never left the road. 

"Ugh, fine." I folded my arms like a little child, smiling. I put on my Ray-Bans and looked out the window. My heart beat grew harder and faster as the seconds went by. I was all ancious and nervous and excited and hyper and i felt like i was going to throw up at the same time.

"Al, we're here! GET UP!!" I  must've fallen asleep on the drive home. I looked at the car clock, 5:10. I had a couple hours before i had to go to the ball. To be honest, by now, i wasn't so excited for the ball. I was excited because of James. By now, i didn't care if i didn't go to the ball at all. I jst wanted to see James. I haven't seen him all day today. Just thinking of seeing that gorgeous face makes my stomach tickle in the inside.
